As for tips on colouring...
If you don't mind me being long-winded ><
The skill on colour pencil colouring is on the level of pressure you put in the colouring, and another thing is that, you can blend in other colours of the similar tone (in fact, colours from different side of the colour wheel can work too, but depending on the colour theme). For example by blending brown into red region, you can have shading effect.
Only depending on one colour for shading may not be visible enough especially when you scan your drawing into the computer... and really, even if you were to use only red pencil (on the dress), you can exaggerate the contrast, in a way like, shaded parts to be coloured very very hardly, but be consistent; lighter parts to be left blank and sorts.
But if the monotone way doesn't work well, blend in darker colours to show the shading clearly.
Hope that helps... i wish i could do the demonstration live but i can't...
